Every once in a while a client comes to my door who connects with me on a soul level. Yesterday was one of those days. The client was a 30 year old woman, Satoko, visiting here from Japan who is a healer, channel, and spiritual teacher, traveling around the world bringing light wherever she goes.

She is beautiful in body, mind and soul. She bowed her head as she ended my door. This gesture welcomed a time to be shared by us that I would not forget.

When Satoko, entered my home and we looked at each other, we recognized each other immediately from another reality which brought tears to our eyes. I am not one who cries easily, but I saw in her something I rarely see, another aspect of my soul, manifest.

It was after we started to talk that the information came forth to me about her current life path and future destinies.

I saw in her a daughter, then a priestess from the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and Atlantis (as that energy is usually the same, the keepers of the sacred knowledge come manifest now to bring the souls to a higher level of awareness.)

Earlier in the morning I had been drawn to find out more about goddesses energies and spiritual woman. My soul must have been preparing me for someone special who was coming for a reading that day.

Satoko and I exchanged energies. The day before she had been attuned in Reiki I while in Manhattan. During her attunement Satoko kept seeing the letter Z.

Her spiritual symbol is a winged dragon. The dragon represents DNA.

She saw me as the embodiment of the white tiger its face superimposed over mine.

After the reading, I gave Satoko a small crystal ball to take on her journey, as she is a crystal mirror in which one sees their reflection through time. She was to have left for Findhorn, Scotland earlier on, but spirit would not allow her to go until she came to see me.

The White Tiger

Role: Finding Personal Truth

Lesson: Power through Conviction, Individuality, Shadow & Light

Element: Fire

Wind: South, Recalling the Inner Child (your emotional body)

Medicine: Uniqueness

In Far Eastern astrology, the White Tiger is a supernatural figure who presides over the Western, or
autumn quadrant of the sky. The spirit of the White Tiger combines the courage and fierceness of a soldier with an ethereal, magisterial dignity.

In ancient times, the head of the White Tiger graced the shields of soldiers going into battle, the entrances to important fortifications and the bows of the Emperor's fastest ships.

To wear the symbol of the White Tiger embroidered on ones robe was indicative of high rank among military officers.

In the ultimate tribute, the title of 'White Tiger' was bestowed upon Yin Chen-Hsin, a canonized general by the last Emperor of the yin dynasty. The general's image is found on the entrance of all Taoist temples to this day.

The mystery and mythology surrounding the White Tiger continued unabated for centuries. Its likeness was frequently painted on sanctuary walls to frighten away demonic, evil spirits. White tiger images pervade the remaining temples and structures of the famous Shogun dynasty of Japan.

The
White Tiger's hide of white with dark brown stripes provides near perfect
camouflage during the hours of dawn and dusk, the hours during which he/she
is most likely to hunt for food. Being thus endowed, the white of
the tiger appears to the eyes of potential prey, to be innocuous areas
of sunlight in the forest or jungle, while the stripes provide the illusion
of shadow. Thus, it is believed that this is a spirit that dwells
in both the world of darkness (physical realm) as well as that of the light
(spirit realm).

One
who is blessed to have White Tiger walk beside them, is here with the Role
to Seek Personal Truth. Yet in order to thoroughly understand and
absorb the lessons and responsibilities of this role, White Tiger Soul
need first acknowledge the shadows that exist Within.

The
shadows that are represented by the dark stripes of the White Tiger, may
be in the form of beliefs or behaviors which bring pain either to the Self
or to Others, fear turned inward, which ultimately manifests as hatred
or anger, or Untruths which he/she has borne, either through the act of
omission or the direct voicing of Untruth.

Yet
the challenge here is acknowledgment and the facing of Personal Truths
free of judgment, self retribution or placing the "responsibility" onto
another. Instead, true integration and acknowledgment of Personal
Truths comes from accepting what is revealed with an open and understanding
heart, while operating with the Higher Intent to change what is ultimately
harmful, painful or no longer of service to the growth of the individual
soul along its Life Path.

Once
this self-examination and soul level ~cleansing~ has been accomplished,
White Tiger Soul may then become the gleaming example to his/her fellow
two-legged of the gift and beauty of operating from Personal Truth.

White Tiger is drawn to a soul that has a powerful sense of conviction and inner strength. Therefore, one who is blessed with this Power Totem will have strong ideas of what is "right" and "wrong," and will stand by this personal belief system, even if that means leaping in the face of popular opinion.

Regardless of whether White Tiger Soul is operating from Higher Intent or Contrary Medicine, these individuals will be well known for their outspokenness and strength of conviction. They are here to teach us the importance of knowing ones inner values and beliefs, and to instruct us to align the
way in which we walk our Path so it is in keeping with our belief system.

When
one chooses to operate from the higher vibration of White Tiger, an impassioned voice may be raised as an advocate for Balance and Acceptance, a Teacher of Fundamental Philosophy might be born, or a Leader may emerge to guide
the way along the path of Universal Truth.
